Argentina hosts Venezuela in the early hours of Friday (5/9, 02:30) for the World Cup qualifiers, with the entire nation seemingly ready to bid farewell to Lionel Messi.
From a standings perspective, the match is meaningless for Scaloni’s team, as they have already secured first place in the group. However, this clash carries a unique significance. Across the globe, there is a strong belief that this will be the last official home match of the 38-year-old “magician” wearing the national crest.
Automatically, the encounter takes the shape of a celebration — a farewell to a footballer loved like few others in his country.
Naturally, he will want to say goodbye with a goal, and with that in mind, betting on Messi to score at 1.65 (Stoiximan) makes perfect sense.
